Hole #7
A wonderful par three with water coming into to play for the first time on the course. Stretching out to over 215 yards, the hole often plays longer with winds into the players coming off of nearby Cedar Creek Lake. From the back tees, player must fade the ball to avoid overhanging trees near the teeing area. The green is surrounded by bunkers and fronted by a beautiful lake that catches the ball of those players who do not hit enough club. The slope of the green makes putting a challenge, and par is an excellent score here.

Hole #8
The longest hole on the course, and one of the most narrow. This par five comes is listed as 537 yards from the back tees, but two well placed shots can get the player home in two. Fairway bunkers and trees make for a difficult tee shot here. A good drive will leave the player with a downhill shot with a fairway wood or long iron to a long and severely sloping green. Mounding runs down both sides of the fairway, and the player must keep the ball below the hole to have any hopes of avoiding those dreaded three putts. This hole provides a good birdie opportunity that can quickly turn into a double bogey if plans go awry.

Hole #9
This hole deserves every bit of its number one handicap rating as the most difficult hole on the course. The hole is narrow and curves to the right off of the tee. Any shot that is less than perfect will find bunkers or a deep forest of trees that are on both sides of the strip of grass that they call a fairway. The par four measures 410 yards and requires a well placed fade. The approach shot calls for a 7 to 5 iron to a long elevated three tiered green. The player must keep the ball below the hole or risk running even the shortest putts four or more feet by. It is a good thing that the clubhouse is nearby, because after this hole you will definitely need a break.
